Dec 15, 2002, Moved the Magellan back to Long Beach. Tony Cole, Brett & Ron Grassl moved the Magellan back to Long Beach. We left the dock (on a georgeous day) at 9:30 and arrived at the Arco dock at 1:30. We removed the rest of the Christmas decorations during the trip. We were planning to move Calliope also but did not get enough crew for both boats, so Brett and I moved Calliope to the guest dock where it will remain for a few days while we scare up crew to move it to Long beach.
Dec 14, 2002 King Harbor Christmas Boat Parade. We joined the parade in the Magellan. Seascouts Bill Coen, Brett Grassl and Li Shen piloted the Magellan around the harbor in grand style. All went very well. We received many compliments on our boat. My wife made a Sea Scout Ship 618 banner that was also displayed, so I think we must have gotten pretty good exposure to the good crowds there. Now that we have experience, next year should be great.
